arXiv:2509.21782v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) are increasingly deployed as the core reasoning engine for web-facing systems, powering GUI agents and front-end automation that must interpret page structure, select actionable widgets, and execute multi-step interactions reliably. However, existing benchmarks largely emphasize visual perception or UI code generation, showing insufficient evaluation on the reasoning, robustness and safety capability required for end-to-end web applications. To bridge the gap, we introduce a comprehensive web understanding benchmark, named WebRRSBench, that jointly evaluates Reasoning, Robustness, and Safety across eight tasks, such as position relationship reasoning, color robustness, and safety critical detection, etc. The benchmark is constructed from 729 websites and contains 3799 QA pairs that probe multi-step inference over page structure, text, widgets, and safety-critical interactions. To ensure reliable measurement, we adopt standardized prompts, a protocolized and deterministic evaluation pipeline, and multi-stage quality control combining automatic checks with targeted human verification. We evaluate 11 MLLMs on WebRRSBench. The results reveal significant gaps: models still struggle with compositional and cross-element reasoning over realistic layouts, show limited robustness when facing perturbations in user interfaces and content such as layout rearrangements or visual style shifts, and are rather conservative in recognizing and avoiding safety critical or irreversible actions. Our code and appendix are available at https: //github.com/annoy-worker/WebRSSBench.

arXiv:2603.02265v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In order to evaluate the invulnerability of networks against various types of attacks and provide guidance for potential performance enhancement as well as controllability maintenance, network controllability robustness (NCR) has attracted increasing attention in recent years. Traditionally, controllability robustness is determined by attack simulations, which are computationally time-consuming and only applicable to small-scale networks. Although some machine learning-based methods for predicting network controllability robustness have been proposed, they mainly focus on pairwise interactions in complex networks, and the underlying relationships between high-order structural information and controllability robustness have not been explored. In this paper, a dual hypergraph attention neural network model based on high-order knowledge (NCR-HoK) is proposed to accomplish robustness learning and controllability robustness curve prediction. Through a node feature encoder, hypergraph construction with high-order relations, and a dedicated dual hypergraph attention module, the proposed method can effectively learn three types of network information simultaneously: explicit structural information in the original graph, high-order connection information in local neighborhoods, and hidden features in the embedding space. Notably, we explore for the first time the impact of high-order knowledge on network controllability robustness. Compared with state-of-the-art methods for network robustness learning, the proposed method achieves superior performance on both synthetic and real-world networks with low computational overhead.

arXiv:2603.03146v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: \emph{Integrated communication and computation} (IC$^2$) has emerged as a new paradigm for enabling efficient edge inference in sixth-generation (6G) networks. However, the design of IC$^2$ technologies is hindered by the lack of a tractable theoretical framework for characterizing \emph{end-to-end} (E2E) inference performance. The metric is highly complicated as it needs to account for both channel distortion and artificial intelligence (AI) model architecture and computational complexity. In this work, we address this challenge by developing a tractable analytical model for E2E inference accuracy and leveraging it to design a \emph{channel-adaptive AI} algorithm that maximizes inference throughput, referred to as the edge processing rate (EPR), under latency and accuracy constraints. Specifically, we consider an edge inference system in which a server deploys a backbone model with early exit, which enables flexible computational complexity, to perform inference on data features transmitted by a mobile device. The proposed accuracy model characterizes high-dimensional feature distributions in the angular domain using a Mixture of von Mises (MvM) distribution. This leads to a desired closed-form expression for inference accuracy as a function of quantization bit-width and model traversal depth, which represents channel distortion and computational complexity, respectively. Building upon this accuracy model, we formulate and solve the EPR maximization problem under joint latency and accuracy constraints, leading to a channel-adaptive AI algorithm that achieves full IC$^2$ integration. The proposed algorithm jointly adapts transmit-side feature compression and receive-side model complexity according to channel conditions to maximize overall efficiency and inference throughput. Experimental results demonstrate its superior performance as compared with fixed-complexity counterparts.

arXiv:2509.12610v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Predicates are foundational components in data analysis systems. However, modern workloads increasingly involve unstructured documents, which demands semantic understanding, beyond traditional value-based predicates. Given enormous documents and ad-hoc queries, while Large Language Models (LLMs) demonstrate powerful zero-shot capabilities, their high inference cost leads to unacceptable overhead. Therefore, we introduce \textsc{ScaleDoc}, a novel system that addresses this by decoupling predicate execution into an offline representation phase and an optimized online filtering phase. In the offline phase, \textsc{ScaleDoc} leverages a LLM to generate semantic representations for each document. Online, for each query, it trains a lightweight proxy model on these representations to filter the majority of documents, forwarding only the ambiguous cases to the LLM for final decision. Furthermore, \textsc{ScaleDoc} proposes two core innovations to achieve significant efficiency: (1) a contrastive-learning-based framework that trains the proxy model to generate reliable predicating decision scores; (2) an adaptive cascade mechanism that determines the effective filtering policy while meeting specific accuracy targets. Our evaluations across three datasets demonstrate that \textsc{ScaleDoc} achieves over a 2$\times$ end-to-end speedup and reduces expensive LLM invocations by up to 85\%, making large-scale semantic analysis practical and efficient.
